Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On December 11, 2023, Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ispire Technology Inc. (the “Company”) received a formal notice that the Company’s independent auditor, MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, P.C. (“MSPC”), had made the decision to resign as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective December 11, 2023. Neither the Company’s Board nor the Audit Committee of the Board took part in MSPC’s decision to resign. MSPC’s decision is due to its internal determination to transition away from providing audit services to public companies.
During the period of time from June 15, 2022, when MSPC was appointed, and the subsequent interim periods through the date of this Form 8-K: (i) there were no disagreements (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) between the Company and MSPC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to MSPC’s satisfaction, would have caused MSPC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).
MSPC audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023. The report of MSPC on such financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified.
The Company has provided MSPC with a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Form 8-K and requested that MSPC furnish the Company a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy MSPC’s letter, dated December 13, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
